Intermediate filament interactions can be altered by HSP27 and αB-crystallin
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
HSP27 and alphaB-crystallin are both members of the small heat shock protein family. alphaB-crystalllin has been proposed to modulate intermediate filaments and recently a mutation in alphaB-crystallin has been identified as the genetic basis of desmin related myopathy. This disease is characterised in its pathology by aggregates of intermediate filaments associated with alphaB-crystallin. Here we report that...
